Guidraco Pterosaur Model is on Its Way
Team members at Everything Dinosaur are very excited as we await the arrival of the first of the 2015 model releases from CollectA. One of the first replicas that will be available in the early Spring is a super model of the Pterosaur known as Guidraco, the name means “malicious ghost dragon” and this model is in the company’s “Supreme Deluxe” range. One look at the model and you can see why it needed the “supreme” designation, it is very well designed and a wonderful depiction, of what we think is a member of the Ornithocheiridae.
The 1:4 Scale Guidraco Pterosaur Replica
Model has an articulated jaw.

Described as standing around 25 centimetres tall, if you include the crest, this is not much smaller than the reconstructions of Guidraco venator seen in several Chinese museums. The skull size is around 13cm and the largest of those vicious rostral teeth are around 14 millimetres in length. The wing finger is a whopping 26cm long. The overall length of the model that we have measured is 23 centimetres, this really is a very impressive replica indeed.

The above picture gives you some idea of just how big these flying reptile replicas are. It also gives you quite a good idea about how excited we are about these new additions to the CollectA “Prehistoric Life” model range.

As you say, a very impressive replica. I wonder if this is a “one-off” to see the market response, or could it be the first of a line of large scale Pterosaurs? There are certainly a large number of possible future projects, many of which have strangely elaborate crests and would make excellent replicas in this scale.
This looks like it could be the start of something very nice.
I sure hope they make this in a 1:1 version together with not only Pterosaurs but some other smaller species like Compsognathus, Archaeopteryx, Rahonavis.., as well, similar like they did with the 1:15 scale T-rex and Triceratops but than in a life size version.
I may have to much fantasy but i surely could imagine a 1:1 Protoceratops and 2 Velociraptors taking over the spot where my dinner table stands right now. 🙂
